Our take
Pick DBeaver if developers who will stay on Community free while they run a first Customer/Invoice join — then Lite at $113/yr when they need the visual query builder, not Supabase’s Free $0 hosted editor first unless they want a hosted nest. Pick Postico if mac developers on macOS 14+ who will pay Personal $69 once for up to 3 devices while they run a first macos_version query — then Commercial at $99/device when
